Nifty special effects for the time, and plenty of Coward's inimitable wit and repartee.

As the medium Madame Arcatti, Margareth Rutherford stole every scene in David Lean's screen adaptation of Nowel Coward's witty play.

The last word in witty repartee of the most civilized kind – the sort of thing Noel Coward was known for, and nobody did better.

Inasmuch as this is largely a photographed copy of the stage play [by Noel Coward], the camerawork is outstandingly good and helps to put across the credibility of the ghost story more effectively than the flesh and blood performance does.
